sate123 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm new here and I just received my new M18x today and I was trying to create a system backup but it stops at 70% on verifying disk... then it says the backup failed or was canceled. Any help would be must appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted July 8, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 8, 2011 First of all congratulation on getting the beast and welcome to T|I !!Which software are you using to backup ? Is it the Alien-Respawn ? What are you using as your backup media ? Sounds like you used a faulty media or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sate123 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Thanks , and yes i was using the alienware respawn, and I used a 4.7 gb DVD+R for my back up media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted July 8, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 8, 2011 Can you try it with a new blank DVD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted July 8, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 8, 2011 And try to not have any other applications open in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sate123 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 thanks for the help, I called alienware and they said i cant backup anything with the alienware respawn because i dont have thepremium version.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted July 9, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 9, 2011 Never heard of that, is this a new thing ? Haven't used this program since my R1 but I would expect it to let you back up at least your OS partition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont need the premium version to backup and restore with alien respawn. I backed up my m17x-r3 image a month ago no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sate123 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 yeah the rep told me that only in the premium version can i backup and in the basic version you can only restore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted July 10, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 10, 2011 You should tell the rep that you can't restore a backup unless you take one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted July 10, 2011 Founder Share Posted July 10, 2011 You CAN backup with the free version. The rep is an idiot. Call again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Maybe try DVD-R over +R or writing at the slowest speed possible with the disks you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debaucher Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Also, try a dual layer disk (at least that is what mine said to use)D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
